Compte rendu de «Kees van Kersbergen and Barbara Vis (2013), Comparative Welfare State Politics: Development, Opportunities and Reform. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 260 p.»
Abstract
Van Kersbergen and Vis provide a documented outlook and some new insights into the vast
literature surrounding the ‘politics of welfare state reforms’. As they suggest: ‘The book is
explicitly conceived and designed as a cross between a text- or reference book, that informs the
reader comprehensively about the state of the art in the field of the welfare state studies and
an academic research monograph that aims to contribute theoretically and empirically to the
on-going debate on the politics of welfare state reform’ (p.
